DEGREE PROGRAMMES

History

Dokuz Eylul University, Computer Engineering Department was founded in 1994 by the founding head Prof. Dr. Esen ÖZKARAHAN. The undergraduate program has started in 1995. The program language is English. Those students, who fail to pass the English Proficiency Test, must attend the English Preparatory Class. The education was conducted in the classical system until 2007, but after the 2007-2008 academic year, the Project / Problem-Based Learning system was adopted. Currently, based on a relative grading system; group and individual applications, written exams with assignments and project based evaluation is used. Since its establishment, Formal Education program has been implemented. In addition to Undergraduate Education, Master and PhD programs in Computer Engineering are offered at the Graduate School of Natural and Applied Sciences. The language of graduate programs is English.

There is also both wired and wireless network connection available for all students and instructors, in the department.
With consulting faculty members, our students have won first, second and third prize in various competitions like Microsoft Imagine Cup, IBM Software Academy etc., in Turkey.
The department has 4 ongoing Research Groups. These are Natural Language Processing Work Group (http://nlp.cs.deu.edu.tr/), Data Mining Work Group, Security Research Group (http://srg.cs.deu.edu.tr/wp/) and Multimedia Information Retrieval Work Group (http://demir.cs.deu.edu.tr/).The department faculty members have publications enlisted in SCI and other edited journals. In addition, they are developing TEYDEB and TUBITAK projects.
The department has the capability to provide consulting services to every corporation and mainly software companies, in every field of computer sciences. The department faculty members can provide knowhow and working environment support for databases, computer networks, distance learning, natural language processing, multimedia (music and image) processing, computer security, project management, software quality, the application of latest computer technology developments, in industrial and other projects. In this context, joint graduation projects which can extend into graduate education with industrial corporations have been started.
